Title: Help with Uptime procedure
Post by: ecube on November 14, 2006, 09:32:36 PM
I tried converting a simple C++ function for getting your computers uptime but am having trouble

Uptime proc
LOCAL buffer[50]:BYTE
LOCAL total:DWORD
LOCAL days:DWORD
LOCAL hours:DWORD
LOCAL minutes:DWORD

invoke GetTickCount
mov ecx,1000
div ecx
mov total,ecx
mov ecx,86400
div ecx
mov days,ecx

comment ~
   DWORD total = GetTickCount() / 1000 - startup;
   DWORD days = total / 86400;
   DWORD hours = (total % 86400) / 3600;      <------ don't know how to do this
   DWORD minutes = ((total % 86400) % 3600) / 60;  <---or this
~   
invoke wsprintf,addr buffer, CTEXT("%dd %dh %dm"), days, hours, minutes
invoke MessageBox,0,addr buffer,addr buffer,MB_OK
ret
Uptime endp

This would be a nice learning experience for future project if anyone can help, thanks.

This is what I got, but it doesn't work, just crashes
Code Select

Uptime proc
LOCAL buffer[50]:BYTE
LOCAL total:DWORD
LOCAL days:DWORD
LOCAL hours:DWORD
LOCAL minutes:DWORD

invoke GetTickCount
;DWORD total = GetTickCount() / 1000
mov ecx,1000
div ecx
mov total,ecx


;DWORD days = total / 86400;
mov eax, total
mov ecx,86400
div ecx
mov days,ecx


;DWORD hours = (total % 86400) / 3600;
xor edx, edx
mov eax, total
mov ecx, 86400
div ecx
mov eax, edx
xor edx, edx
mov ecx, 3600

invoke GetTickCount
;DWORD total = GetTickCount() / 1000

Just to point out that you're doing far too much work :P

The first DIV of 86400, results in eax being the result, and edx being the remainder - or, the result of MOD ('%')
Then you go and do the same division again immediately afterwards... to get the same result in edx that you already had in edx ::)
..Equally for 3600 :wink

Keep your results and use them as you go along :U
